Oklahoma fourth-grader dies after losing consciousness in PE class

VINITA, Okla. – A fourth-grade student in Oklahoma has died after she reportedly lost consciousness during a physical education class Monday.

Superintendent Kelley Grimmet told the Tulsa World that a fourth-grade student at Will Rogers Elementary School was resting after playing a five-minute round of basketball when another student went to tell the teacher something was wrong.

The teacher told officials that the girl had her eyes open and was breathing, but she was not talking.
